COMPRESSOR OIL SYSTEM
(Figure 5-1) cools the compressor, lubricates moving parts and seals
internal clearances in the compression chamber.
The oil inlet line is connected at the bottom of the oil reservoir. Air pressure in the oil reservoir forces oil
through the oil cooler, thermostatic mixing valve, oil filter and into the compressor main oil gallery.
The oil passes through internal passages for lubrication, cooling and sealing. The air-oil mixture is then
discharged to the oil reservoir where a large part of the entrained oil drops out of the air stream; the air
then passes through the final oil separator where most of the remaining oil is removed. The separated oil
is returned to the compressor and the air passes to the final discharge line.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT
- Gardner Denver compressors are factory filled with Gardner Denver
AEON lubricants. These lubricants are formulated to the highest quality standards and are factory
